"Auntie Dee's Bear"

The night my Mom passed away my cousin's two children were very upset, so I looked around her room and sent home to each of them a beanie baby stuffed bear that was in her room.A year later, (just a week ago) Allison emailed me a photo of her bear sitting on her dresser --- along with this note:"Thought this may brighten your day. Auntie Dee's Anniversary is coming up next weekend, and I know how much she loved Christmas. :)"Now isn't that the sweetest thing? For this layout I used:BMU SS Paper Templates: Background Blenders 4BMU Lilly's ChristmasMRE SS Paper Templates: Downtown

Oh Marilyn, this is beautiful. I love that glass tree with the ornaments on it and what a sweet little bear that is. The background is so pretty with the lace doily and the pinks and cream colors are beautiful. What a sweet and thoughtful thing for Allison to do for you.

That is so sweet and thoughtful of Allison. Auntie Dee Bear and her Christmas tree look so pretty together, and I love the doily mat you used behind the photo. That fancy letter D and candy cane heart are extra special embellishments. It's such a wonderful and touching memorial to your Mom.

Allison has a heart of gold, I know she missed seeing your mum and so she treasures this bear but how very thoughtful of a young girl to do this... It must make you smile to know the effect your mum had on her :-) wonderful blending to focus on the bear and tree, the colours are just so gorgeous together and including her words was inspired, this is beyond lovely.
